From İlla ki (1983). İlla ki is a studio album by the Turkish rock musician Erkin Koray, released in 1983 by Mega Müzik. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Vintera '60s Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Erkin Koray's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

Can I play "Tek Başına" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Tek Başına" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
